Material Type

Lab bottles commonly have a
variety of components, such as bodies, caps and closures, seals, straws,
and droppers that can be made of various materials.

Borosilicate glass has
high chemical resistance, resists thermal expansion and shock, is
heat-resistant, and is commonly selected for many pharmaceutical
applications. It is the most common glass lab bottle type.

Glass is an inert brittle solid, heat-resistant, and
typically transparent. It does not allow transmission of gases or
vapors, and has solution-compatibility. Lab bottles come in a variety of
glass types, such as borosilicate and soda-lime. Colored or tinted
glass, such as amber, cobalt blue, or red, has ultraviolet (UV)
resistance.
